This subreddit is for both philosophical and political libertarians of all kinds including, but not limited to the various "types" listed below. It is in no way aligned with the Libertarian Party. /r/Libertarian is a community to discuss free markets and free societies with free minds. As such, we truly believe in spontaneous order and don't formally regulate content (A practice encouraged by site reddiquette). A few general guidelines will help everyone:

Please don't downvote comments. Especially because you disagree with a comment. No one should be shut out of a conversation because you disagree with them. In this subreddit: One is zero, zero is negative. No one should be below zero unless it's pharma spam or something.

Participate and submit content Please take some time to submit things that foster discussion on libertarian topics. This is not meant to discourage image macros, which are nothing more than glorified self posts, and are allowed in /r/libertarian. Read through those links if you want, but don't message us about it.

Report off topic pharma/revenue spam only, not trolling, or content or comments you disagree with.

Don't like the content? DON'T REPORT IT OR MESSAGE US ABOUT IT ... since we aren't going to tag it, remove it or ban anyone. Go to the new queue and vote on the submissions there if the content bothers you.

Seriously. I have read some fucking stupid shit on this sub, but this thread takes the cake. How you can possibly turn this thing into an argument against federal law enforcement is completely beyond me. The fact that he was found by an ordinary citizen means absolutely nothing. This is an example of the worst kind for how ideology can distort people's sense of reality. I mean, holy crap.
